Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers. My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers. This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.

@NYCMayor They’re fine asshole, protected by our ally Israel. Fortunately they were stopped before reaching your Islamic buddies in Gaza where they would find themselves “Very much not fine”. But you’re not a reasonable individual so by all means continue spewing nonsense and hate.

@RalphNe93890676 @NYCMayor Fuck Isreal. Fuck Gaza as well.

@ObjectPerspect @NYCMayor Fuck um’ all, let God sort um’ out? That trigger does wonders for that self anointed “objectivity”, don’t it

@RalphNe93890676 @NYCMayor They're both objectively terrible. Just look at the past 50 years of their history.

huhboy...You disprove that whole "objectivity" deal without the other guy having to raise a "Uh..wait one there". Nearly 1/4 of Israels full citizens are Arabs, they enjoy all the rights of citizenship if they choose to become full citizens. Nearly every other race and nationality as well, live freely in Israel. There are appx. 71 Arab judges in the lower and supreme courts. All faiths and LGBTQ lifestyle are protected and welcome. Israel is one of Earths principle generators of medical advances and industrial technology, it is the only true Democratic Nation State in the entire Mid-East and Absolutely no other nation in the Mid-East can make claim to even one of those facts. Is Israel "perfect" hell no, is any person, people, or nation?. The only equitable fact regarding Israel and the broader Mid-East is it happens to "live in the neighborhood". Is Israel "perfect", hell no, is any person, people, or nation? There no more wasting my time with you really as your mind is set and you're not being honest with yourself about the truth and facts. Equating Israel with the broader mid-east is beyond willful ignorance really, and thats not a place where that objectivity you claim can penetrate.
